\n=====<\/p>\n
After originally advertising new episodes, “Jimmy Kimmel Live” ended up airing re-runs each night this past week.<\/p>\n
Assuming plans do not change again, the ABC talk show will air five new installments this coming week.<\/p>\n
Each will feature a musical guest.<\/p>\n
According to official ABC listings, Kings Of Leon will perform on the May 1 broadcast. Dr. Oz is scheduled as an interview guest on that episode.<\/p>\n
Incubus will play the May 2 episode. Will Arnett and “Gong Show” host “Tom Maitland” will also appear on the episode.<\/p>\n
Alison Krauss will take the stage on May 3; Anthony Anderson is confirmed as an interview guest.<\/p>\n
Future will perform on a May 4 broadcast that also includes Kristen Bell and Charlie Hunnam.<\/p>\n
The Friday, May 5 broadcast will close with a performance by alt-J. David Spade is listed as a musical guest.<\/p>\n
It is worth noting that Kings Of Leon and Incubus were originally scheduled for episodes last week (prior to the scheduling change). Lorde was also advertised as a musical guest last week, but ABC has yet to confirm if and when her appearance will end up taking place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ABC confirms musical guests for the May 1-5 string of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” episodes.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73976,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048],"tags":[233,4604,2555,2102,4218,1722,506],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
